In the event of adverse weather do not use your caravan, nor bring my vehicle onto the park and use the reception car park. In the case of snow or ice the Park is not to be used under any circumstances and if your car is on the park during adverse conditions, you agree not to move the vehicle until the weather conditions improve. Should a caravan owner and their dependants decide to use the park against our advice during adverse weather conditions then it is at their own risk and liability.

The gates may be locked at any time, in the event of key holders and non key holders requiring access past the barrier, a management administration fee will be issued for each event.
